Soy Street (Chinese: 豉油街; pinyin: Chǐyóu Jiē; Cantonese Yale: si6 yau4 gaai1) is a street in Mong Kok of Kowloon, Hong Kong. It starts from Tak Cheong Street in the west crossing several major streets including Nathan Road, and ends in Waterloo Road.

The section between Nathan Road and Sai Yeung Choi Street South is for pedestrians only. The section between Nathan Road and Fa Yuen Street becomes crowded with people during the holiday season and at night.

History

The meaning of Soy street means there was a soyabean factory long time ago.[citation needed] In June 2004, potteries of Eastern Han Dynasty (AD. 25-AD. 220) and Jin Dynasty (265–420) were discovered in a construction site at the junction of Soy Street and Tung Choi Street.[1][2]
